In the latest released clip from Summit’s upcoming war flick about the military’s bomb squad in the Middle East, Colonel Reed (David Morse) gets Staff Sgt. Wiliam James (Jeremy Renner) to open up about just how many bombs he’s blown up working for the EOD.  I’ve seen the film and when put in the full context of the story, even this little dialogue piece is tense.  I kept thinking Renner’s character was gonna get the sh*t chewed out of him by Morse for being a loose cannon.  Turns out Morse’s character’s a bit of a wildman himself, I guess. 

We also have eight new still images , which you can see after the jump!

NEW IMAGES FROM’THE HURT LOCKER‘

The other clip, which you can watch after the jump, is called "Cell Phone, Two O’clock," and gives a tiny clip of the film’s tension quotient, as St. Matt Thompson (Guy Pearce) – bedecked in full blast suit and all – is compromised by an insurgent with a cell phone-cum-detonator.  And the guy’s got Thompson’s number… on speed dial…  Check out the clip after the jump.  

We’ll have a review for anxiety-inducing The Hurt Locker coming soon, but suffice it to say my sphincter was clenched the entire movie so as to avoid dropping a deuce in the pristine Wilshire Screening Room.  And I want to be invited back there.
